Flare Calmer Pro Mini – Ear Plugs Alternative – Reduce Annoying Noises Without Blocking Sound – Premium Version - Soft Reusable Silicone with Aluminum Core - Black Ice

I ordered these to try as I knew I was about to work a day in an environment I normally find highly stressful and noisy; a busy public place. I really didn't know what to expect from the Flare Calmers, but thought I'd try them and got the mini size as I have small ears and most ear phones are too big.So, I put them in in the morning, having practiced with the right way to insert them, and the whole day was so much easier. I didnt realise what a difference it made to the sounds around me until I realised how relaxed I was instead of my normal stressed self when there. I loved them. BUT....I wore them on the trip home and one fell out. They were so comfortable I didn't notice one had gone, so now I am bereft of an earplug.*Updated a few days later*So, I contacted Flare and they have been amazing regarding the lost one and discussing what might suit my ear shape better. It's not the first time I've bought from Flare, as I've had their earphones and their earplugs before (also excellent) and they always go the extra mile to help and advise. Love this company!

The standards were too big for my small ear canals and these are so small they just fell out of my ear when I moved my head or ate. It seems there's no in-between for me.What's most disappointing is that I bought these mini's before returning the standard ones believing I could use the 100 day money back guarantee that they offer. But that's not the case and now I'm stuck with 2 sets of Flares that I can't use!I understand hygiene issues and to be honest I wouldn't want to use something somebody else had used. But what I don't understand is how you are okay with accepting them back through the website, but not here? Don't advertise a guarantee that you aren't prepared to honor everywhere. Buying them here instead of through the website doesn't change what they are and they know most people will go through Amazon, so this guarantee seems like a little but of a con if I'm honest.Just be sure that if you buy these, you're confident they're going to fit. If not then buy them through their website because it's the only way they'll guarantee you can return or exchange them!

I first tried them out when at a festival. Considering I was in front of the sound desk all day working then I found that at the end of the day I was pleasantly satisfied that the buds had done a good job of staving off any end of the day ringing in the ears.I found that the first time is used them the high end that causes me so much issue was instantly dampened. I have so far not had any issues with the quality of the sound softening when in conversations or at work / around music. Unlike my other £20 ear defending buds that cut so much of the sound signal that you feel separate form the environment these feel very natural in their noise attenuation. I am a layman with my terminologies towards sound but I know what I have experienced and these are proving to be a great investment!The one reason I marked the value for money down was and is because, The fit has often left both buds loose in my ear canal and unless I keep checking in on them then I do foresee that any kind of over active endeavour (I am an active person) means that I will lose one fo both of these buds from falling out of my ears. And, I think that the small size is the right size for my ears. I would love for them to have a corded or even slightly more active fit option. I foresee me having to buy another pair before the year is out. Perhaps there is an option of cheaper replacements for those of us who have purchased before?I look forwards to trying the sleep buds at some point too. These are a great anxiety reducing tool within my newly forming kit and I do enjoy there sense of feeling calmer by making an informed choice in improving my sensory experience - such as my hearing. Good work Calmer. Peace.

I saw this product on Facebook and claimed to help “organise” noise. I purchased these with the sole intent to see if it would help my gf at work (as a mental health nurse) without telling her what they did she put them in and it was a different level of calm for her.Later we told our neighbours about them for their son who may be on the spectrum and he also found they helped him focus.

I wish I had got the bigger size as I thought the smaller size would be right for me. So I can't really give an accurate reviewI can't say that they do not work as they could be more effective if they fit properly. I do notice a small improvement but I also have tinnitus so that is also an influencing factor

I had to buy the adult size, as although all other ear plugs are too big for me, the mini ones of these were too small! If you have extra small ear canals give these a try, but be prepared to pass them on to a littler one (after washing of course). The muffling effect is great for loud environments, or concentrating in an office.

These look great, however made no difference in sound for my daughter with sensory processing issues.

When I first put these in my ears I didn’t notice any difference. It says you have to wear them for as much as you can in the first 24hours. I could still hear everything, well I thought I could. When I took them out, I noticed how loud my house is and the high frequency people have on their voices. Evertything felt so loud And I put them straight back in. So they do work. I brought them to wear in a noisy machine shop and they kept me focused all day without the distractions from machinery noise whilst still being able to have a functioning conversation.These aren’t to block out the noise, but to block out the high frequency. I would recommend them to someone who is sensitive to high frequency noises
